EXECUTIVE REPORT continued
The Hauchek diamond drilling machine is available in three versions.
Hauchek is the name under which Coventry-based hirer ACD Plant will be exhibiting. “We actually had a stand at the Show five years ago,” said Director Mark Richings, “promoting our diamond drilling system that extracts a core of asphalt or concrete to ensure it meets HAUC regulations. We have made improvements and we now offer a frame-mounted two-stroke version, a hand-held model and an electric variant. We originally designed the Hauchek for a local contractor and now, with increasing construction activity, there is great potential for other hirers to offer it. Having attended the Show Kick-Off meeting at the Ricoh in September, which encouraged exhibitors to pro-actively
invite hirers to their stands, we are exploring ways of doing this by e-mail and social media, so hirers will be hearing from us.”
Similarly, the hirer and supplier, Deborah Services Ltd, believes other companies can benefit from offering its products for specific markets, such as site fencing, crowd control and shoring. “A lot of hirers will know us for our scaffolding equipment and related services, but we want to promote our full non-mechanical product range,” said National Accounts Manager, Matt Croft. “Having previously attended the Show as a visitor, I know it is the ideal platform to reach the industry.”
Red Plant’s Elebia ‘evo’ crane hook is designed to avoid manual handling.
Show visitors will see that Health & Safety continues to drive new product development. Red Plant will display the Elebia ‘evo’ automatic crane hook. It generates a magnetic field to attract a lifting ring or sling, and the user closes the hook via a remote control. “This eliminates the need for people to climb delivery lorries, and no manual handling is involved,” MD Gary Taylor told EHN. “The Show will be an excellent way of reaching hirers serving potential users in diverse markets.”

Similarly, Hy-Brid Access Platforms, which was established a year ago to distribute products from US manufacturer, Custom Equipment, will display additions to its push-around and self-propelled compact scissor lift range, including a narrow width model. “There is still vast potential in this market,” said Sales Director, Andy Northwood. “You still see many contractors working from ladders, who could be using a safer alternative, and the price of machines means there is no excuse for not using them.”
The HB-P3.6 compact scissor will be on Hy-Brid Access Platforms’ stand.
Centurion Europe will display products from a range of Health & Safety labels and posters, traffic signs and tagging systems to denote the HAV ratings of hand-held tools, offered under the Spectrum Industrial brand.
Peli’s portable lighting products enable work in areas without mains electricity.
Peli Products (UK) will promote its portable battery-powered lighting systems, ranging from self-contained units to tripod- mounted versions with adjustable masts. “There are many markets hirers can target, from building contractors and railway workers, to surveyors and emergency service personnel in areas with no main power,” said Marketing Director Gill Lack. “Our 9460 model can be adjusted so that its light output will last for a pre-determined length of time, up to 40 hours. We continue to develop our range as LED technology advances, and hirers need to keep abreast of the latest developments.”
The above gives just a glimpse of some of the products that will be displayed. We will include our full Show Preview in our January/February issue, and with such a diversity of equipment and suppliers to see, your attendance at the Show is essential.
